From Bulbapedia, the community-driven Pokémon encyclopedia.
Dipplin (Japanese: カミッチュ Kamicchu) is a dual-type Grass/Dragon Pokémon introduced in Generation IX, with The Teal Mask.
It evolves from Applin when exposed to a Syrupy Apple. It is one of Applin's three branched evolutions, the others being Flapple and Appletun. It evolves into Hydrapple when leveled up while knowing Dragon Cheer.
Biology
Dipplin is a worm-like Pokémon that lives inside an apple. In contrast to Applin's other evolutions, Dipplin bears a strong resemblance to Applin. Unlike Applin, however, Dipplin appears to be composed of a pair of separate bodies; the head and tail visible outside of Dipplin's apple appear to belong to two different creatures.[1] The head belongs to the "fore-wyrm" while the tail belongs to the "core-wyrm." Both of Dipplin's bodies are light green, with a yellow-green underside. The fore-wyrm's head has two large yellow leaf-like eyestalks with small black pupils, and a tall, thin protrusion similar to a horn or an antenna. The core-wyrm's tail that sticks out from Dipplin's rear has two leaf-like features on it.
Dipplin's evolution is said to have been triggered by the Syrupy Apple, found exclusively in Kitakami. The pair that composes Dipplin works together inside their shared apple. They are capable of producing syrup, which they use to coat their apple in layers. This syrup has a fragrant scent that captivates Dipplin's opponents. They can use the syrup to engulf their opponents and hinder them.[1]
Dipplin is the only known Pokémon capable of learning the move Syrup Bomb. It is also the only known Pokémon that can have Supersweet Syrup as an Ability.

Trivia
- As Dynamaxing and Gigantamaxing were exclusive to Pokémon Sword and Shield, Dipplin is the only evolution of Applin that does not have a Gigantamax form.
- Dipplin itself resembles the Gigantamax form of its evolutionary relatives, Flapple and Appletun.
- Despite its evolved form being unreleased at the time, Dipplin was able to use Eviolite upon its debut in The Teal Mask.
- Dipplin and Hydrapple's evolution line is the only one released within the same generation that do not follow the logic of sequential numerical order, with Dipplin being number 1011 and Hydrapple being number 1019.
Origin
Dipplin, like its evolutionary relatives, appears to be based on the popular image of a worm burrowing into an apple, as well as a pun on the wyrm, a type of dragon — hence its Dragon typing. Dipplin also appears to be based on a candy apple, which is made by coating apples with a sugar mixture, and is often served at festivals and holidays. Dipplin's Shiny coloration seems to draw inspiration from the similar treat of caramel apples.
Name origin
Dipplin may be a combination of di- (prefix meaning double), dip, and Applin.
Kamicchu may be a combination of 果 ka (fruit), 花蜜 kamitsu (nectar), 虫 chū (bug; worm), and カジッチュ Kajicchu (Applin).
